Features of Welding Arm made in APS.

Return to initial position

After completion of job, torch returns to its home position with the help of pneumatic cylinder.

Mechanical proximity sensors to maintain fixed distance between job and torch

Mechanical proximity sensor(Spring load system) is used to maintain uniform distance between torch and the job.

Welding Oscillator

Welding Oscillator is a mechanical or automated system that moves the welding torch in a predetermined pattern during the welding process. Weaving of the torch is required to fill the gap between jobs and achieve a proper welding.
